Building a Classroom Community


In class, we made name tents and learned a little bit about each other. We also decided on some classroom norms.

HOMEWORK:
Decorate your name tent:
There will be special peer and teacher recognition for the tents that are the most unique. Include things you like, and a metaphor that represents how you see yourself as a mathematician.

Reflect:
On a piece of regular notebook paper, do the following:
· Explain why you think we did these activities.
· Write down the names of 2 people that you met today that you think you could learn something from and why.
· Write down 2 different names of people that you met that you learned something fun or interesting about. Explain what it was and why you thought it was interesting.

Get supplies ready for Tuesday:
For class on Tuesday, you will need a spiral notebook (FOR MATH ONLY) and a pencil. Although you will not need a calculator for Wednesday, you will need to purchase a Texas Instruments graphing calculator for this class. We will tell you more about it tomorrow!
